  • Layered clothing and a warm jacket: In Cusco, mornings and evenings can be cold, while temperatures can rise during the day. For Humantay and Montaña de Colores, bring an extra thermal layer.
  • Poncho or waterproof jacket: March is still part of the rainy season in the Andes, so unexpected rain may occur during excursions.

  • Cash in soles: recommended for small purchases, handicrafts, tips, additional services, or establishments that do not accept cards.

  • Medications and personal items: Bring your regular medications and any products you may need during the excursions, especially considering the days spent at high altitudes.
  • Acclimatization and rest: When you arrive in Cusco, avoid unnecessary exertion, drink plenty of water, eat light meals, and allow your body to gradually adjust to the altitude.
  • Go at your own pace: Humantay and Montaña de Colores are located at high altitudes. Walk at a leisurely pace, take breaks when you need them, and always follow the guide’s instructions.
  • Be punctual throughout the trip: stick to the scheduled times for pickups, flights, trains, and admission, especially at Machu Picchu, where entry times are scheduled.
